How to Install Mods/Workshop Items to your Don't Starve Together Server

We've done our best to make adding mods to your Don't Starve Together server as simple as possible. All you'll need is the mod or collection workshop ID and access to your server's control panel.

Finding Steam Workshop Mods

Find the Mod IDs of each mod you wish to install on the Steam Workshop.

  1. Browse the Steam Workshop and find a mod you would like to use. You can find the Steam Workshop for Don't Starve Together here.
  2. Once you have found the mod you wish to install, you can find the Mod ID in the URL of the web page for the mod.
  3. Copy the numbers as the end of the URL, this is the Mod ID that you will need to paste into your server config.

    Example URL: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2843097516

    In the example above, the Mod ID would be 2843097516.
